During today's range session with my M&P40, I had 14 FTF out of 50 rounds of my .40S&W handloads.
Brass: Winchester Nickel
Bullet: 180gr Flat Nose Jacketed
Powder: Hodgdon Titegroup, 4.2gr
Primer: Remington 5 1/2 Small Pistol Magnum
COL: 1.125
All FTF had, what I consider to be a decent lick on the primer.
I rechambered the first 5 FTF for a "second-chance" firing, and only one ignited on the second chance.
I checked the primer depth, and all appeared to be seated just barely below flush.
So now I'm in this mysterious zone wondering if something is screwy with my loads or if my early run M&P40 has something wrong with it.
Compounding the issue is another 50 rounds out of the same loading session that fired without fail through my dad's Glock 22.
Any ideas?
